ALLIUM SATIVUM (Garlic) Garlic is a perennial herb. The bulbs are composed of several small, elongated, egg-shaped bulbils, called "cloves," all of which are enclosed by a whitish skin (Fig. 93). There are often as many as ten bulbils in a single bulb. The scape is from I to 2 feet high, round, and possesses alternate, broad- linear, sohd, flat leaves. The spherical umbels bear many bulblets among the small, long- stemmed flowers. Seeds and bulblets are borne in the same head. In propagation, the bulb- lets in the flower head and the cloves are used more commonly than seeds. GarHc is a native of southern Europe. Both the cloves and leaves are used in seasoning salads and soups, and the stems are also often an ingredient of sausage and other ground Fk;. 93.—Bulb of garlic (Allium sativum), x H-.
